The war for Energy in Sudan

Export of insecurity
In the 90’s Darfur was well-known as the place from where attacks against neighboring countries were launched and where groups, trying to get the power through military
Coups, were training, In 1990, Idriss Deby Launched from Darfur a “blitzkrieg” against Chad president, Hissen Habre, Soon after that, Deby-together with the members of his tribe-launched an attack against Sudan government, so that a paradox appeared when the rebels from Sudan had their headquarters in Chad, while the rebels from Chad were in Sudan, in the province of darfur respectively.
In March 2003, when the regime of Ange-Felix patasse from Central Africa Republic collapsed, his soldiers took refuge to the bases in Darfur.
Sudan supported the “West Nile Front” led Taban Amin-son of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin Dada-who took action again Uganda from Darfur. At present, the huge oil reserves-which lie from the Red Sea up to the area of the Great Lake in Central Africa-where Darfur holds the biggest reserves-represent the object of the special interest shown by the big oil companies, private military companies, as well as the “humanitarian” agencies present in the area.
Sudan is currently the fourth oil supplier to China, the USA big economic rival. Therefore, the USA organized a local coalition against the Islamist regime in Sudan, coalition in clouding Uganda, Chad, Ethiopia and Rwanda in its turn, being about an “Islamist regime” Israel ensures the training of some anti-Dafur forces in Eritrea. The African Union (UA) displayed “peace-Keeping” forces in Darfur: troops from Nigeria and Rwanda, which were accused of atrocities in their own countries, The EU displayed as well 5.000 soldiers in Darfur.
“Save Darfur” Coalition
The current war in Dafur started in February 2003 when the tow non-Arab groupings (JEM and SLA) accused the pro-Islamist government in Khartoum of leading a pro-Arab policy of forced Islamization of the whole non-Arab population. The rebels in Darfur, belonging to (JEM and SAL) also accused the Islamist government of favoring the Arab militia of camel breeders,” janaweed”.
The government in Khartoum responded to the (JEM and SAL) guerrilla attacks with air bombardments and raids of Janjaweed militia. The Janjaweed grouping was accused with violations of human rights, mass executions, systematic robbing and Kidnapping of non-Arab population. The Janjaweed militia was also accused for setting entire villages on fire, forcing their inhabitants to take refuge in camps or to cross the border to Chad.
According to Western mass-media, in the summer of 2004, about 50.000 to 80.000 non-Arab people would have been killed and at least one million were driven away. Thus, the corporatist occidental mass-media declared that in Sudan-in Darfur especially-it was created “an immense humanitarian crisis”, and the Islamist government of Sudan is practicing ‘genocide” against the black population and, consequently, “ the international community” should intervene urgently in order to put an end to atrocities.
On 18 September 2004, upon Resolution 1564 of the UNO Security Council, a “commission of Investigation” was created with the aim to investigate the causes of the “genocide” in Darfur. On 31 January 2005, a 176 pages report was forwarded by the Security Council. The report was confirming the assassinations and Kidnappings committed by both parties, but was confirming that one cannot speak about genocide” in Sudan , as “the Intention to annihilate a certain ethnical group”-which is actually the definition of genocide-was missing, there being only tribal conflicts.
The genocide controversy
Several activists-first of all, those grouped in “Save Darfur” coalition or in the “Genocide Intervention Network”- rejected the conclusions of the UNO commission and continued to speak about the “islamist genocide in Darfur”. Other organizations, like “genocide” for the tribal disputes in Sudan.
According to Washington Post, in 2005 the Save Darfur coalition was settled in the USA: Save Darfur was created in 2005 as a coalition of the two grouping interested in the issue of genocide in Africa – American Jewish world and US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The Washington Post writes: Save Darfur coalition has a staff of 30 experts in politics and public relations. The 2007 budget was of USD 15 million. As china was the main beneficiary of Sudan oil, 'Save Darfur' was one of the main organizations that tried recently to be sabotage the route of the Olympic torch as well as to determine the ######### of state to sabotage the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic games, which is to start on 8 August 2008, in an attempt to internationally diabolize China.
Political marketing
A spokesperson of Save Darfur Coalition pointed out that only the boycott of the Olympic Games in Beijing cost the organization some USD millions. The Save Darfur ' public relations' campaign is using typical political marketing techniques. For instance, it gathered students and bloggers of colour, trying to internationalize the vision according to which in Darfur would be genocide of the Arabs against the African black people. Save Darfur uses, in the respect, most of the techniques used by ex libration movements in south Africa, Namibia, Angola or Mozambique, Washington post also reads: No fund from those collected by 'Save Darfur' was used to help the victims in Sudan or their families. On the contrary, the coalition is using its conviction power and money to determine an international military intervention in Sudan. At the same time New York Times noted that: The 'Save Darfur' partisans from the USA are not interested in political negotiations in order to put an end to the conflict in the region.
The UNO implication
Ban Ki-Moon, the UNO Secretary General, showed his great concern in connection with a possible indictment o the Sudanese Personal Omar Al-Bashir. Ban Ki-Moon declared to Le Figaro that the measure to arrest and trial Al-Bashir by the ICC – following the well-known model of Slobodan Milosevic – would have very serious repercussions on the peace-keeping operations in the region and on the political process as well.
on of the conflict in Sudan as one exclusively between the Arabs (Islamists) and the African black people – presented by the American mass-media – is simplified to a great extent. The Arabs are also black people, while the majority of Sudan, due to inter-marriages, is mostly Islamic.
